Brown University for-credit program for high school students.

We know that computers are great problem solvers, but there is human work that must be done before computers can work their magic: first, it is necessary to formalize the problem within a mathematical model, find an algorithm to solve the problem in that model, and implement the algorithm in a particular programming language.

Spend 4 weeks living on the historic, picturesque Harvard campus located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a Harvard student for your 4-week summer session, you’ll get a student ID which will be your pass to use the libraries, athletic facilities, student centers and access the dorm you’ll be living in with fellow students.

In NYFA’s teen summer camps and filmmaking workshops, students aged 14-17 build skills in filmmaking and content creation through hands-on experience. Throughout the course of the film camps and workshops, our faculty of professional filmmakers and directors teach filmmaking for teens, training aspiring storytellers to write, shoot, direct, and edit their own original content. For those who complete our level-one classes that cover the fundamentals of filmmaking, we also have a selection of level-two classes. In these classes, students build upon the techniques and knowledge learned in our level-one camps and workshops.

NYFA’s dynamic one-week acting camp gives teens the chance to explore their interest in acting for film. In just a week, students aged 14-17 build basic acting skills through in-class instruction and on-camera exercises. Studying under the supervision of professional actors and directors, students learn how to tap into their natural talent. No experience is required to attend.

During NYFA’s three-week summer camp for acting, aspiring young actors work in an environment that reflects the many demands of a film set. Throughout the camp, students get the opportunity to audition for and act in other students’ films, providing them with a considerable amount of time to practice their on-camera skills. Students also complete an assigned scene as well as a monologue on-camera directed by faculty, recorded by staff, and edited by our in-house editor. At the end of the program, students receive an edited digital copy of their work. For graduates, there will be a final screening for family and invited guests.

The Summer Science and Engineering Program is for exceptional students with strong interests in science and engineering. You will engage in hands-on research with Smith faculty in life and physical sciences and in engineering.

You will tackle research projects under the mentorship of distinguished faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Opt for the Internship track and you will spend 40 hours each week working on research projects designed by your mentor to help you acquire valuable technical and analytical skills while developing insight into the scientific process. You may choose from hands-on research opportunities in areas such as: astronomy, biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, medical laboratory research, neuroscience, physics, psychology, and public health. You will present the results of your research at the Poster Symposium that concludes the program. In addition, one day per week you will join the Practicum students for workshops aimed at building your academic and professional skills.
